When I first started on the road, I suddenly became a little worried, so I asked, "If we just hang the skin of a coyote on the carriage, will any wild beast follow the fishy smell to find me?" ”

Feng Xian smiled and said, "If this is the case, it is the best, we can hunt more prey and go back to share it with the villagers in the village." ”

Wei Xu, who was driving on the side, couldn't help but say: "I said Brother Cheng Lian, seeing that you are also a person with martial arts, how can you still be afraid of that beast?" ”

I smiled and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm a little worried that it will delay time and attract the attention of others." ”

Wei Xu said: "Hey, who in this area doesn't know our people, at most a merchant will come to buy animal skins, and no one will think that we are here to mine." ”

I nodded and said, "Looks like I'm overthinking." ”

Feng Xian said: "It's still the reason that the virtuous brother is worried, if someone follows us and knows where we are going, once someone informs the government, I'm afraid that there won't be a good life for us, so it's better to be cautious." ”

At this time, Li Su in the other car suddenly continued: "That's right, those guys in the government have always eaten people and don't spit out bones, if they know about it, they can peel us off without even skinning." ”

I couldn't help but groan, but asked, "I don't understand one thing why my brother is so afraid of rebellion." ”

But seeing him smile and shake his head and said: "It's not that a certain family is greedy for life and afraid of death, just because this matter is not trivial, don't say that failure will cause many families to be ruined, even if it is successful, it will make many people bury their bodies on the battlefield, the so-called success will be ten thousand bones, look at what the famous general of the Qin State Bai Qi did, you can understand everything, if it is not a last resort, I will never openly rebel." ”

I nodded in agreement with what he said. History books have always flaunted the exploits of those victors, and will not tell the efforts of those who really work hard at the grassroots level. If it's not a last resort, who will think about fighting and killing all day long, and what bullshit work to establish, it's fucking nonsense. Of course, the exception is the disorderly ones.

On the way, we met a foot merchant who wanted to buy our coyote skins, one skin was seven yuan, and a total of dozens of yuan were sold. Since the merchant knew each other well, he finally gave a few more pennies. Subsequently, when it was time to divide the money, they planned to divide me a few cents, and I couldn't help but laugh and excuse myself. I don't have any credit for this work, so how can I share their hard-earned money.

The prices in this era were not high, one penny could buy more than one pound of white flour or rice, and ten pennies could buy two catties of pork. If the family population is not large, it is enough to earn two or three cents a day, and the family that saves a little can eat a meal of meat in ten days and a half months, even if it is such a day, it can be said that it is very happy for the people of this era. However, this is still based on the fact that the world is more stable, and if there is a troubled world, then the sale of children and daughters is light, and the serious one must be filled with human flesh. Compared with the people of this era, the people of our time can be said to be many times happier, but many people still shout how miserable they are, which makes people feel how ridiculous this is.

We continued on our way and finally arrived in Pingcheng County (northeast of present-day county) before dark. Feng Xian said, "Tonight I will find a guest house in the city to stay overnight." ”

Qin Yi couldn't help but say, "The guest house is too expensive, right?" ”

Feng Xian said: "It's okay, it's cold at night, and the virtuous brother is still injured and sick, so he needs to recuperate." ”

At this time, Li Su on the side took out all the money he had previously divided from his arms, handed it to Feng Xian and said, "Why, mine is here, find a better home, you have to let Brother Cheng Lian sleep more comfortably." ”

"And mine." Seeing this, the other two also took out the money, only Qin Yi was a little hesitant. I could see that he was a cautious man, and I was worried that if he could not dig up gold on this trip, and he had spent all the money on him, I was afraid that it would be difficult to explain it when he returned. I couldn't help but say, "Brother, let everyone get the money back, and we'll camp out of the city tonight." ”

When Feng Xian heard me say this, he couldn't help but worry: "It's so cold, and you have injuries and illnesses, how can you bear it?" ”

I couldn't help but smile immediately: "Hehe, brother, you underestimate me too much, how can this little injury and illness be able to void my body, don't worry, I was born with an extraordinary physique, and now I have recovered most of it." ”

Feng Xian sighed: "Brother Xian, you must not be strong? ”

I smiled and waved my hand and said, "Brother, you are really too worried, if you don't believe it, I will stand here and not move, you can come up and throw me at random, if you can make me move half a minute, then I will listen to you." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile. Feng Xian shook his head with a smile and said, "In that case, let's camp outside the city tonight." ”

Then we found a spacious place outside the city, near the river, removed the animal skin tent from the cart, set up the pot, and prepared for dinner.

"Brother Xian." Bong called out to me first, then threw me a bag of wine and said, "If you feel cold at night, take a sip to warm up." ”

I smiled and said, "Thank you, brother." ”

Immediately, I opened the stopper and took a sip, and couldn't help but read: "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to Qingtian, I don't know what year the heavenly palace is!" ”

Wei Xu on the side couldn't help but be surprised: "Huh? Can't you see that Brother Cheng Lian can still write poetry? ”

I couldn't help but smile and said, "Why, this poem is not written by me, it is a masterpiece of everyone." ”

"Oh?" When Feng Xian heard this, he couldn't help asking, "I don't know who it is?" ”

I immediately smiled and said, "This person's name is Su Shi, you must not have heard of it." ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but nodded, and said: "Speaking of everyone, I have heard the names of Cai Bojiao and Kong Wenju in the world today, but I have never heard of the name of Su Shi. ”

I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this is the only trouble caused by the crossing, you said that if this matter is spread to future generations and is known by Su Shi, then this joke will be a big joke. At this point, I don't know how to justify myself.

I couldn't help but say: "Because Mr. Su is indifferent to fame and fortune and likes a quiet and elegant secluded life, he has never been famous in the world." "This lie is really getting farther and farther, it's not this era at all, it's a fart!

Feng Xian couldn't help but nod and said, "I see, if you want to come to this old Mr. Su, he must be an immortal sage." ”

I'm Khan, you're still Mr. Su, you are taller than his grandfather in terms of seniority, and if you want to call him, you have to call you Old Man Lu.

I nodded and said, "Ah, yes, my brother is right. ”

At this time, Qin Yi on the side suddenly continued: "If this old gentleman is really a sage, then when we succeed in the future, maybe we can ask him to come out of the mountain to help." ”

Oops, I'll go! It's weird that you can find him.

Feng Xian nodded and said, "Well, what Yilu said is true, but I'm afraid that the old gentleman is a noble person and won't go out of the mountain to help." ”

I couldn't help coughing and said, "Let's talk about this later, in case we need to invite him out of the mountain in the future, the old gentleman has already gone to the west, and now it will be useless to say more." "Nima, the more I talk about it, the more unreliable I become, people haven't been born yet, so it's not kind to curse people to die early.

Qin Yi nodded and said, "That's right, let's wait until later." ”

At this time, Li Su on the side suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that there is a gentleman named Xu Zijiang in Runan, who is good at appraising the characters of the world, why don't we go to him for evaluation in the future?" ”

I couldn't help laughing and said: "That's just a trickster, if he can really see through a person's nature, loyalty, treachery, good and evil, then why doesn't he directly select talents for the country?" As long as he looks at it with his fiery eyes, can't he know who can be a good official and who will be a corrupt official, and won't it be just around the corner to rule the world in such a peaceful way? ”

"Haha." When Feng Xian heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "What the virtuous brother said is extremely true, as the so-called knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, how can the loyalty, treachery, good and evil in human nature be seen through by the naked eye, this matter is not believable." ”

Li Su couldn't help but smile and said: "It's still Brother Cheng Lian who is sensible, or I would really believe the rumors." ”

Wei Xu on the side couldn't help but say: "Just you fool, you believe everything people say." ”

Li Su suddenly waved his hand and said, "Go, go, adults talk, little dolls don't intervene." ”

Wei Xu pursed his lips and said, "Hey, isn't it two years older than me, what a spirit." ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Qin Yi nodded and said, "We can get Brother Chenglian's guidance, and we don't have to worry about his big things in the future." ”

"Hmm." Everyone smiled and nodded at me, their eyes full of expectation for me. I couldn't help but smile and shake my head as a sign of modesty.
